Xiliang was one of the few regimes established by Han people during the Sixteen Kingdoms period. Where is Xiliang State in the Tang Dynasty now?

Liangzhou District, Wuwei City, Gansu Province.

Since the establishment of Wuwei County in the Western Han Dynasty, it has been renamed many times. When Xiongnu ruled Hexi Corridor, it was called Guzang. After the Western Han Dynasty occupied Wuwei County, the Eastern Han Dynasty called it Xiliang. Its territory is also large and small. At large, it occupied most of Gansu and extended to several neighboring provinces, which was called Liangzhou in history.

Li Ke, a descendant of Li Guang, founded the Xiliang Dynasty in 400 AD, and was called "Lianggong" in Dunhuang. In 405, he moved the capital to Jiuquan and approached Beiliang. The territory is in today's China, western Gansu and Xinjiang. In 4 17, King Wu Zhao died and his son Li Xin succeeded him. In 420, Li Xin was killed in a battle with Beiliang, and his brother Li Xun, the governor of Dunhuang, succeeded to the throne in Dunhuang.
